Shakira And Her Mom

When all the collaboration and mutual admiration started going on between Shakira and Beyonce, at first I thought it was a contrived thing cooked up by record execs.

Eventually I realized that one thing they have in common is that their parents are still an everyday part of their lives. Shakira always travels with her parents. Beyonce is managed by her father. Maybe the thing that they have in common is family values.

Britney Spears does not seem to have family values. Her mother had played a part in her earlier career, but had given the reins over to more professional types. Maybe that was a bad move for everyone.
